He showed some skills and was turning into a valuable ST player.
There were some guys on the old board wetting their pants over him, but which of our players hasn't gone through that with a small portion of the fanbase? You could realistically make Fred's comment with literally any player that has ever played for this team because there's ALWAYS at least a couple of huge fanboys of each player on the boards.
Most people saw him as a solid ST player and maybe even a 3/4 WR of the future. Maybe "special" if you considered special to be making the 53 for at least a few years, but I don't remember even his biggest fans projecting him as a perennial All-Pro or even a first stringer for that matter.
